Landamt (Frankfurt am Main)
The Landamt was an authority of the Imperial City of Frankfurt or the Free City of Frankfurt .
The Landamt of the Imperial City of Frankfurt
The imperial city of Frankfurt also included a number of rural communities in the vicinity. At the beginning of the 18th century, the administration and the lower jurisdiction for these eight communities were organized in the Landamt. At the head of the Landamt was the Landamtmann . This was the successor of the land administrator who had performed this task in the 17th century. Administrative duties included tax collection, hunting leases, police and other things.
The jurisprudence was carried out by a court consisting of three members of the Council of the Imperial City of Frankfurt. Each of the council's three benches (senators, aldermen and councilors) elected one of the judges. An appeal against the decisions of this court was possible before the council, lay judges 'court or lay judges' clerks of the imperial city of Frankfurt. In practice, the lay judge's clerk was the usual revision instance.
From 1810 to 1813 Frankfurt was part of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt . The former Landamt now formed the Landdistriktsmairie Frankfurt in the Frankfurt department . The previous Landamtmann Georg Wilhelm Zeitmann became district mayor. However, the Landdistriktsmairie Frankfurt lost its function as a court from the beginning of 1813 by ordinance of October 5, 1812.
The Landamt of the Free City of Frankfurt
After the end of the French era , the old organization was restored.
Article 32 of the constitutional amendment regulated the state (judicial) office as court. Supplementary regulations were made by the ordinances of May 20, 1817 and July 22, 1817. After that, the Landamt was the first instance court in civil matters up to a value in dispute of 300 guilders and was responsible for matters of voluntary jurisdiction.
The administrative tasks were carried out in the Land Administration Office. Tasks were the finances of the rural communities, the poor, the commercial, construction and agricultural police, and the prevention of fire and floods.
Even after the annexation of the free city of Frankfurt by Prussia remained the country of Justice Office continue to exist (see Organization of Justice in Frankfurt a. M. (1867-1879) ). It was not until the Reich Justice Acts of 1879 that its tasks were transferred to the newly created local courts .
